starting on scripts

The direct portal already takes one parameter specifying the optional script file name. A second parameter has been added to provide a user name--but it defaults to AdMin.

When running a script file, direct portal now first does a login. And the password is taken now from stdin rather than from the script file.

I've also been working on normalizing error handling so that an error can optionaly abort the script.

All fun stuff. But then, I haven't started debugging it yet. :-)
